Review: I was dubious about this house because of having to screw it together, thinking there was a very good chance it would leak. I was wrong! Haven't had to use any sealers on the joints at all and it has been perfectly weather tight during the worst winter we've had in years. I did notice the plastic-y smell when I first unpacked it, but did not think it was so bad.This is a really nice house and I am so glad I purchased it. I am getting a couple more. *I got the standard, so I can't comment on the "sunroof" feature in the deluxe.

Review: This is a nice house that is built well....the problem is that it smells very strongly of formaldehyde and my dog does not want to go inside. When my dog did go in the house (after a lot of coaxing) he was facing the door (with his nose sticking out the front) because of the smell. The formaldehyde smell is very potent...so if you and your dog don't mind that then it's a nice house. The plastic is thick, the house is elevated, and it has a nice floor...the door opening is very high so it is not warm inside. The roof comesin three pieces and there is a small space inbetween the roof panels that I will need to put sealant over since it did not fit together tightly. If the smell does not go away then I will have to buy my dog a new house.
